Dix ans après la disparition du chorégraphe français Roland Petit, formé à l’école de danse de l’Opéra de Paris, l’institution lui rend hommage dans un programme en trois parties.

Die drei Choreographien von Jiří Kylián und Roland Petit behandeln die sexuelle Beziehungen zwischen Mann und Frau.

Five vital young men from top international ballet companies hit the stage of the 
London Coliseum in Kings of the Dance.

For their second show in the London Coliseum this year, English National Ballet has presented the first programme entirely designed by its new artistic director Tamara Rojo. In the line of her vision of enriching the company’s repertory with new works, while at the same time honouring the classics, the triple bill built for the occasion is a fascinating combination of old and recent masterpieces.

It was one of those ‘I was there’ moments that will be remembered always by a lucky few. Ivan Vasiliev’s single guest performance with English National Ballet in Le Jeune Homme et le Mort was one of startling brilliance, of great power and heartfelt emotion for his purpose in performing was to offer his own personal tribute to the late Roland Petit.

ENB’s highly anticipated triple bill of works by the French master craftsman Roland Petit was tinged with sadness when the news of his death was announced on July 10th at the age of 87. He had hoped to oversee the rehearsals and attend the UK premiere. Instead, however, the London season became a powerful tribute to him, one of the greatest choreographers of the 20th century.
